Introduction of social cards will contribute to fairer and more equitable exercising of the citizens’ social rights relying on their social and economic status, increase of the efficiency in the area of social policy, faster and easier exercising of the citizens’ rights and preventing potential misuse of the rights. The activities relating to the legislative framework setting and the development of the information system aimed at automatizing and supporting business processes with the authorities from the social welfare system, are ongoing in order to allow the introduction of the social cards.
According to the Action Plan, piloting of the parts of the Information system should be finalized by the end of 2019, while the entire project is to be finalized by the end of the Government mandate. Development of the social cards information system requires conducting of parallel activities on enhancement of the applications from the area of social welfare, so at the end of the process both digitalization of services, procedures, data and information within the social welfare sector and general contribution to the digitalization in the Republic of Serbia will be considerably improved.
